  • Liz Truss has been named the new prime minister of the UK in the wake of Boris Johnson quitting.
  • Truss, a Johnson loyalist, won a five-week campaign and is seen as offering continuity with Johnson.
  • Truss is a prominent Brexit supporter, despite once opposing it, and has pledged sweeping tax cuts.

Liz Truss has been named the new Conservative leader after a fierce leadership battle following Boris Johnson's resignation on July 7. The victory also makes her the new prime minister, due to take over on Tuesday.

Johnson was forced to step down after a string of scandals — including his handling of an accusation of sexual assault against one of his senior MP's and attending parties during the COVID-19 lockdowns — sparked the resignation of more than 60 members of his government in three days. 

 An ally of Johnson, Truss has often been described as the continuity candidate – but who is she, and what can we expect from her premiership?

Who is Liz Truss? 

Born in Oxford, England, in 1975, Truss has been MP for West Norfolk since 2010, a minister for 10 years and a cabinet minister for eight. It makes her one of the most experienced operators in the UK's government. 

Before being named Conservative leader, she was foreign secretary. Truss has also been trade secretary, women and equalities minister and environment secretary. She was the first woman to be Lord Chancellor and justice secretary. 

During the 2016 EU referendum, Truss backed the Remain side, but later repositioned herself as an ardent Brexiteer to take positions more hardline than some who backed Brexit from the start, including Rishi Sunak, her rival for the leadership.

Truss also started out life supporting a different political party. As a student, she was a Liberal Democrat – the third-largest and most centrist party in the UK.

Unlike her predecessor, Truss attended a state-funded school, Roundhay, which she has criticised for having "let down" pupils. She went on to study Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Oxford — a degree common to many in Britain's political elite.

What does Truss believe? 

Her switch from the Lib Dems to Tories, and Remain to Leave has led some critics to suggest Truss is something of a shape-shifter.

She certainly hasn't shied away from controversy. A video of a young Liz Truss advocating for the abolition of the British monarchy — a fringe position she long since abandoned — went viral during her campaign.  

More recently, Truss has placed herself on the right of the party, criticising "fashionable" policies on race, sexuality, and gender.

While Johnson attempted to emulate wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill, Truss has more often looked to Margaret Thatcher for inspiration, vowing not to give "handouts" but instead cut taxes in response to the growing economic crisis in the UK, which is facing high inflation and soaring energy costs.

As foreign secretary, she met with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov at the beginning of February as nations including the UK warned that the invasion of Ukraine was increasingly inevitable. It resulted in a frosty press conference with Lavrov complaining it was a conversation of "the mute with the deaf".

It later transpired that Truss insisted on visiting Russia against official advice. "The head of the Russia desk told her not to go, the head of security told her not to go," an official told The Times of London.

Within Westminster, Truss has gained a certain notoriety for her photoshoots including a Thatcher-esque tank ride, flying Britain's Union Jack flag (on an umbrella) on overseas trips, and a series of glossy shots for an interview with the Mail on Sunday.

She is also (in)famous for her stilted delivery during speeches, as shown in the compilation video below from London's Evening Standard newspaper.

A particularly awkward speech in 2014 resulted in memes that have followed her ever since, mostly focused on moments where Truss made an uncomfortable pause boasting of opening access to "new pork markets" in China and branding as "a disgrace" the extent to which Britons eat foreign instead of British cheese.

A 2021 profile by Politico noted that Truss had always been a nervous public speaker, but worked on honing her delivery after getting more prominent jobs.

During the five-week campaign to win the Conservative leadership, Truss stuck to her guns on tax, promising to reverse the 1.25% rise in National Insurance tax introduced by rival Rishi Sunak.

She also pledged not to introduce any new taxes and said she would scrap a planned 6% rise in corporation taxes. 

Although this has been criticised as regressive, helping the richer in society more, Truss told the BBC it was fair because the richest paid more tax to begin with.

"Of course, there are some people who don't pay tax at all," she said on Sunday. "But to look at everything through the lens of redistribution I believe is wrong because what I'm about is about growing the economy and growing the economy benefits everybody."

However, on Monday morning – hours before she was confirmed as the new party leader  – The Daily Telegraph reported she was now considering freezing energy bills to avoid "Armageddon".

Truss has adopted a similar approach to Johnson when it comes to Europe and Brexit. 

As foreign secretary Truss has threatened to trigger Article 16 over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which unionists claim is damaging the UK's integrity. During the campaign, sources suggested she could do this within days of becoming prime minister.

Asked whether French President Emmanuel Macron was a friend or foe to the British state, Truss replied "the jury is out". This earned her some criticism, although Macron appeared to make light of it, leaving Johnson to insist that Macron was a "tres bon buddy".

While she appears aligned with Johnson on Brexit, one area where the two disagree is the environment. Truss has called solar panels as "a blight on the landscape," and plans to cut the green levy, a portion of energy bills that goes towards social and environmental projects.  

Who did she defeat?

Former chancellor Rishi Sunak was the second cabinet member to resign when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister and thus played a huge role in triggering the leadership election. 

The two differed on their economic pledges, leading to some fiery moments in the campaign and making it unlikely he will hold a government post under the Truss administration. 

While Truss pledged to reduce taxes immediately, Sunak wanted to look to do this after the UK had "gripped inflation." 

Sunak led the parliamentary stage of the contest, winning the backing of a majority of Conservative MPs, but lost that edge as the race continued, eventually polling more than 30 points behind Truss in the last few weeks. 

A prominent Tory donor warned that Britain will be seen as racist for not selecting Sunak, who would have been the UK's first non-white prime minister had he won.

What happens now? 

While Truss has been named as Conservative party leader, she must wait another day before officially becoming prime minister. 

Truss becomes prime minister on Tuesday when she will travel to meet the Queen at Balmoral in Scotland. It is the first time the Queen has handed over power outside of London, owing to concerns about the 96-year old monarch's mobility.

Johnson is due to first inform the Queen of his resignation formally and become a backbench MP.

Truss will then announce her new Cabinet, with changes expected as early as Tuesday evening. Allies including Kwasi Kwarteng, James Cleverly and Therese Coffey are all likely to be rewarded with big new jobs while Dominic Raab, Michael Gove, Steve Barclay and Sunak, are likely to lose out.

Per reports in UK outlets, Truss is likely to oversee an emergency Budget, with a possible date of September 21.

Truss does not have to call a General Election and can hypothetically continue with the parliamentary majority which Johnson won until January 2025. But polls suggest Tory popularity is declining.

With a looming economic and energy crisis, as well as the ongoing war in Ukraine and the never-ending fall-out from Brexit, the new prime minister has a mammoth task ahead of her.

The lifelong climate change activist will take to the screens once again this weekend as part of the BBC’s new series ‘Life in Colour’. A favourite among Britons, Sir David first found fame after working in the BBC production team in the Sixties. Since then he has visited every continent and revealed the world’s hidden beauty through countless documentaries – most recently with the BBC’s ‘A Perfect Planet’ series.

Approaching his 95th birthday, Sir David previously admitted he felt like he was “slowing down” while discussing plans for his retirement.

And, speaking to Radio Times in December, he also added that he may never fly long-distance again.

He said: “It’s probably a fact of age, but I was finding my heart was sinking deeper and deeper into my boots every time I walked up into an aircraft and looked down that long line and thought, ‘I’m going to be here for another 24 hours’.

“It didn’t make my heart lift with pleasure.”

After the Prime Minister imposed strict restrictions on the country to curve the effect of coronavirus, Sir David recorded his narration for the new BBC series from his home in Richmond.

And that is said to be his preference from now on.

Asked if he thought he would ever film overseas again, he stated in December: “No, not a lot.”

In recent years, Sir David has travelled to fewer locations when making documentaries.

During the production of ‘Seven Worlds, One Planet,’ he travelled to just two of the 41 countries producers filmed in – Kenya and Iceland.

Discussing his carbon footprint, he said at the time the flights were justified, explaining: “I don’t think people should fly just for the hell of it.

“Apart from anything else, the BBC would be absurd to spend money on flights that are not essential or important.”

Even if he is slowing down, Sir David has made it clear that it will not stop him doing what he loves.

Speaking to Radio Times in 2018, he said he will only stand down when he can no longer meet the physical demands of the industry.

He detailed how one director at the time had frustrated him by repeatedly making him walk up a staircase.

He said: “I did it at least six times because of these bloody directors.

“If I can’t walk up and down steps any more, that will stop me.

“Yes, I do dread not working, although there are things I can do without running up steps six times – books to be written, things I’ve never got round to. But at the moment it seems to be all right.”

But the legendary broadcaster said he hoped he would be able to tell when he was no longer up to the job, rather than being asked to step down.

He continued: “I would like to think I would be able to detect when I couldn’t find the right words any more.

“If I think I’m not producing commentary with any freshness, or which is apposite or to the point, I hope I would be able to recognise it before someone else told me.

“I spend a lot of time fiddling with the words.

“I write a commentary and feel it’s finished, then go back over it the next day and find it full of infelicities, clumsiness and redundancies.

“If I thought I was turning in substandard work, that would stop me.”

Life In Colour will explore the many ways animals use colour throughout their lives.

Colour plays a vital role in the daily interactions of many species, but the colour we can see tells only part of the story.

Using new cameras built specifically for this series, the three-part documentary will reveal a world of colour normally invisible to human eyes.

Filming took place across the globe, with particular emphasis on Australia.

Attenborough’s Life In Colour will air on the BBC on February 28.

Within the opening moments, the programme’s narrator gave some insight into how the show was able to go ahead.

There was much uncertainty surrounding how it would work, with it being revealed the bakers had to say goodbye to their families for the duration.

The show’s voiceover explained to viewers: “Like everyone up and down the country, the Bake Off has had to make some changes.

“To save this year’s competition, the bakers have agreed to leave their homes and move into the Bake Off bubble!”

Great British Bake Off airs Tuesdays from 8pm on Channel 4.

“Partly because of the virus and partly because he’s running out of friends,” the comedian continued.

Clearly finding Angus’ new segment amusing, she noted: “I’ve been looking forward to you doing that.”

The shut down didn’t come until the presenter had a general conversation with Angus, stating it must be a “great time” for stand-up comics to get material with so much happening in the news.

Knowing the actor had travelled to Leeds especially to appear on the show, Steph asked: “How was your first night in Leeds?”

Jokingly hitting back, he replied: “None of your business,” with his dry humour once again leaving her in tears of laughter.

Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of deliberately trying to cause the UK Government “maximum embarassment” by setting her own coronavirus agenda. The Scottish First Minister was confronted over her decision to part ways with Boris Johnson‘s plans by ITV host Lorraine. Ms Sturgeon insisted that the only thing driving her plans was keeping people as safe as possible.

The host asked: “It’s really interesting because you seem to be setting the agenda here.

“You were with the UK Government at first, and now not following their lead while they do screeching U-turns on masks, exams, school meals over the summer.

“Is that sort of the plan? To cause maximum embarassment to the UK Government?”

The First Minister denied the accusation and insisted that “nothing could be further from her mind”.

Following their guest’s admission, Garraway remarked: “That is extraordinary,” before going on to ask why he thinks the Prime Minister hasn’t made contact with him.

Mr Khan replied: “I think it’s for the Prime Minister to explain why that is. I hope it’s not because he’s playing petty party politics.

“I put aside party differences to work with the Government,” he continued.

Express.co.uk have contacted a representative of Number 10 Downing Street for comment on Mr Khan’s claims.

Taking to Twitter, viewers were just as confused by the admission, with one writing: “Did I hear London Mayor Sadiq Khan correctly there – he hasn’t spoken to PM Boris Johnson since 10th May?? #GMB.”

Another added: “@SadiqKhan hasn’t spoke to @BorisJohnson since May. @fmwales included hasn’t spoke to him in March/May???? What are you doing Boris???? #GMB #Covid_19.”

Given the floor, Peston grilled the Prime Minister over the fact there had been calls for Mr Cummings to resign as he didn’t follow the UK Government guidelines.

The political journalist addressed how Mr Johnson’s chief aide seemed to have breached not one, but three of the lockdown rules.

These included leaving the house where someone who lives there has Covid-19 symptoms, spending hours in the same vicinity as someone who could be infected and travelling to a second home.

Just as he had started the briefing, the Prime Minister defended his colleague’s actions and as he went on to speak with another reporter, it was clear the ITV journalist was unimpressed with the answer.

The leader of the Conservative Party was battling coronavirus in an intensive care unit just a few weeks ago, and just as he was about to return to work his partner, Carrie Symonds gave birth to their first baby together; a boy. 

Downing Street released the news alongside an image of Johnson – which was taken at an unknown date – on what is presumed to be a staircase from the coveted house, looking extremely happy. 

Morgan, who has been a regular criticiser of Johnson and his party on GMB wasted no time in discussing the Prime Minister’s facial expression. 

Kicking off the show just after 6am, Morgan said: “I don’t want to rain on the happy parade of the Prime Minister, I really don’t.

“I think it would be churlish to do that when he’s just become a father again and Carrie Symonds has just had her first baby.

“They’ve both been through a lot – they’ve both had the virus, Boris nearly died and it must have been a very worrying few weeks at the late stage of pregnancy. So I wish them all the best,” he continued. 

“But you can’t get away from this jarring sense of every front page of a very happy Boris Johnson bounding up the steps inside Downing Street, released by Downing Street.

“And many newspapers have used that picture alongside very bad headlines of the death toll in this country now accelerating to the second worst in the world.

“Yet again, I’ve turned off due to the incessant drivel spouting from Piers Morgan. We don’t want to hear his constant criticism of basically anything he disagrees with. Megan Markel, Boris Johnson ….government in general!!#GMB,” one wrote. 

An alternative tweet read: “Criticising Boris for being happy at the birth of his child, this show has gone downhill!#GMB.” 

A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister and his partner said both mother and baby are “doing very well”.

BBC reported Johnson is expected to take a “short period” of paternity leave at some point later this year, Downing Street said.

However, they also declined to say whether the baby was born prematurely, and did not provide details of the weight, timing, nature or location of the birth.
